well Ive been on the look around for more bits and bobs to do , and found a fair bit to do on it, starting with the surrounding panel of the gear shift. the little latches that hold it in place have broken so I'll have to engineer some kind of fabrication to fix it, GOD that was good for this time of day lol

A rainy day dont help
don't look like I'm getting much done today, might do a little inside it today , but we will see :) back soon :)

Its gonna be a pain in the backside coming up with something that can be taken apart in case of work needing doing, otherwise i would just seal it down. Its freaky when you put it in to reverse and you feel like the cover is going to spring up and hit you in the face. small fix but just got to think about it.
found a small rip in the seat drivers side , only noticed yesterday. the more bits i find the longer the job is getting, its amazing how much more you see when your getting in to it,, right QUICK TEMP FIX
Hows that ? i know i know, its not the same colour and not a great stitching job, but its better than it was, until i can either get some covers, or replacement seats . but hey, it'll do :)
The Centre pocket needs fixing back down, the bracket is slightly bent and the screws are up, it may screw down and may have to get slightly bigger screws in. Ever have that feeling you committed to something for a life time? The other half always claims to be a frontera widow lol
BUSTED LOCK :( I think i can fix this rather than buy a new barrel, I'll take it out a fashion a a locking bar out of something handy , a days job i think, you wouldn't think so on something so small. but its always the small things that take the longest.
It is very rusty underside of the car, i gonna let loose with rust dissolver tomorrow, in an attempt to try and bring back some life to the belly of the beast . unless of course the rust is the only thing holding it together :( then rust goes and i find a pile of bits on the floor in the morning after lol .
